Mainly used to correct cosmetic disadvantages caused by fractures, minor malocclusion of the upper frontal teeth, ceramic veneers cover only the visible surface of the tooth towards the lips.
As a result, significantly less intact dental tissue is sacrificed during the preparation of the veneer compared to the crown, which covers the whole tooth and is used to treat such cases. The appearance of the ceramic veneer can be made almost identical to the colour and translucency of the adjacent teeth. As it is made of pressed ceramic, this version is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also highly accurate in terms of fit and durability, making it the benchmark in its category.
Benefit: aesthetic, durable and precise fit.
Disadvantage: costly due to its technological complexity. The ceramic veneer requires at least two sessions to prepare. (1. Preparation, impression-taking, 2. cementation.)
